Beasley vs. Stephenson, Irving witness! Should the NBA All-Stars introduce a one-on-one challenge?

8:07am, 10 June 2025【Basketball】

If there is a rank in NBA stars, Durant may be ranked first. But he himself said that he was most afraid of meeting Beasley when he fought alone. This guy was really amazing: "Fighting with him alone is like being wrapped around his neck by a python." Even in the Heat Training Hall, the legend of Beasley fighting against James is still circulating.

Beasley's NBA career has changed 9 teams in 12 years, and he can't even make it to the CBA.

But even such Beasley, his one-on-one ability is still regarded as top-notch. So in this case, Beasley participated in a one-on-one match with quite explosive traffic. After two months of warm-up, the popularity of this one-on-one challenge reached its peak. With live broadcasts across the Internet, the tickets for online viewing are $19.99. In this one-on-one match, Beasley's opponent is also a player we are very familiar with, Lance Stephenson, nicknamed "Junior Brother". In this one-on-one match, the champion's prize reached 100,000 US dollars! How exaggerated is the attention and grandeur of this one-on-one challenge? In addition to the cost mentioned above, the commentary of this game is Kyrie Irving, who lets the players who know the one-on-one challenge best, on-site commentary and witness the birth of the one-on-one challenge king.

Stephenson's singles ability is actually quite good. He often shows his personal singles ability in the NBA. But in front of Beasley, it is indeed a bit inconvenient. Beasley's size and technical abilities all look above Stephenson. The signature backward jump shot can be called a killer weapon. In the end, Beasley easily beat Stephenson 31-21, and the trash talk was squirting non-stop during the period. While taking away the 100,000 bonus, he also became a hot search. After the game, Beasley also tagged Stephenson on social media and wrote: "We contributed a better video than the Kardashian video today!" In this game, in addition to Irving, many NBA stars came to watch the game, such as John Wall, Oladipo, Whiteside and Drummond. These players all have one characteristic, that is, they gradually faded out of the fans' horizons.

For stars like them, if they want to make quick money, this one-on-one showdown is actually more appropriate. Some fans even said that the NBA can use this single-match match for former NBA stars as a reference. Isn’t Adam Xiaohua currently planning to carry out NBA All-Star reform? Although he said he would change it to the world team vs. the United States team, it is just a division of nationality and increase the players’ competitive spirit. After all, for NBA stars, this is not a World Cup, it is just an entertainment event, and the world team is not from a country, and how much effort can big-name stars put into play and whether they have enough sense of honor are all unknowns. In contrast, setting up a one-on-one match, at least on the surface, traffic is definitely enough.

After all, a one-on-one single-handed challenge will involve the face between the stars on the one hand.

In such a competition, no one wants to be the background board for opponents, right? Moreover, even if the NBA does not give bonuses and does not set corresponding trophys, these stars will most likely play with all their strength for their personal face. What's more, compared to the whole game, a one-on-one match with lower total scores will also save energy. In order to pay attention, the NBA can also specially invite some stars who have celebrated festivals to play singles. For example, Jordan Poole and Dream Green, or Gobert and Green, or Hero and Amen Thompson. If you can't play basketball, you can wear a boxing glove...
